And said, The will of God be done.
Then Balmerino next came on,
Who, as friend or foe, regarded none;
But star’d about, and look’d as bold,
As he had been judge, that court to hold,
And ’gainst them mov’d a point of law,
His indictment was not worth a straw,
As being in the county of Surry founded,
For acts of treason in Scotland grounded:
Therefore should be in Scotland try’d;
